"Mr. Tanner said that he would treat us all to dinner after work today, so let's shoot the next scene carefully and try to finish early.""Wow, long live Mr. Tanner. Mr. Tanner is awesome!""I'm so happy. Not only do we get flowers, but we are also treated to dinner.""All thanks to Mr. Tanner and Ms. Becker. They are so nice."There were all compliments to Adrien and Kisa. While Sharon's face darkened with jealousy, Carolyn kept staring at Adrien as if she were smitten with him.Gilbert grinned again at Kisa. "Well, now we are all going to dinner together. You can say no to me, but you can't say no to Mr. Tanner, can you?"Kisa snorted. "Then I won't sit at the same table with you," she said and tried to pull her hand back, but he grabbed her hand like a scoundrel and would not let go. Kisa got chafed and kicked him. "I need to start shooting now. Let go of me."The director was indeed calling everyone over. Gilbert smiled at her before letting her go. Jensen, who sat at the sa
She frowned and turned her head, only to see Gilbert's face inches from hers. She hurriedly moved to the side and glared at him. "Just eat your meal. What are you doing getting so close to me?""You didn't hear me when I called out to you a few times, so I had to come closer for you to hear me." Gilbert let out a faint smile, which looked a bit dirty in her eyes.Kisa did not want to talk to him but ate her meal silently. Gilbert served her some more of her favorite dishes, but she resisted, covering her plate with her hands and moving it away.Peter and Jolina were in the same situation as they were. Peter also behaved like a rascal as he tried to please Jolina, who always kept a stony face in front of him. She did not eat the things that Peter served him.Mia swept her eyes at everyone and could not help but sneer. "Some women like to play hard to get. If they really don't like men mollycoddling them, they shouldn't have come to the table in the first place." Mia did not mince he
At the end of the dinner, all the artists came to give Kisa a toast. Everyone was just so jazzed, and the atmosphere was so upbeat. Not wanting to kill their buzz, Kisa drank to them all, one glass after another. At first, Gilbert offered to drink on her behalf, but she still had a grudge against him and refused to accept his kindness. So, after many glasses of wine later, she was hammered just as expected.When she left the hotel, she insisted on Jensen driving her home. But Gilbert dragged her out of Jensen's car. She was pissed off and refused to take Gilbert's car. He finally had no choice but to bring her to stroll down the street.Kisa ended up hugging a tree trunk, wanting to throw up, but could not. She frowned, looking awful.Gilbert patted her on the back, trying to soothe her. "You should have let me drink on your behalf, not stubbornly insisting on drinking the toasts and ending up with a screwed-up body."Kisa pushed him away. "It's none of your business. Who are you,
"This was how I seduced you to sleep with me, pissed off your first love, and later hurt your grandma. You called the police to arrest me and made those prisoners beat me up."Even when Kisa was drunk, she still remembered these hatreds clearly. She put her hands on his shoulders, smiling sweetly and whispering, but her words stabbed into his heart like knives. She knew Gilbert knew she did not do those things back then, but she still wanted to mention it from time to time and even deliberately say that she did all those things just to taunt him. Now, she even went as far as kissing him to arouse his desire, and while he was on the verge of losing his self-control, she mentioned these things again to frustrate his fire of desire.Gilbert almost broke down because of that. He knew Kisa had always held a grudge, and those grudges and hatred were difficult to quench. But he never knew that her means of revenge against him were so ruthless. She was torturing him psychologically.He look
On the street, Gilbert tugged at Kisa and frowned. "Listen to me. It is dangerous here. Come with me to the sidewalk."Kisa was surprisingly strong and stubborn when she was drunk. She shook off his hand. "Go away. I don't need you to care about me."Gilbert had no choice but to follow behind to protect her. He checked around from time to time whether there were vehicles coming. Just after he checked and thought it was safe, he heard a vehicle coming from behind. It sounded like the vehicle was moving fast as if it would slam into them the next second. He hurriedly looked back and saw a white car speeding toward them. What frightened him even more was that Kisa was six feet away from him, and the car was speeding toward Kisa. There was no time to look at the car's license plate. He instinctively lunged at Kisa and pushed her away with great force. Strangely, the car suddenly changed its direction just as it was about to hit him. But the car's front side had still slammed against Gilb
In the dead of night, the hospital lobby was empty and cold. Kisa leaned against the cold wall, staring blankly at the emergency room doors in front of her. The light was on inside, and Gilbert had been wheeled in for a while. She clenched her hands, panicking. Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps and the sound of a cane striking the floor. Her body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head and saw Madalyn, helped by Kelvin, walking toward her anxiously and angrily.SLAP!Madalyn threw a slap across her face without mercy.But Kisa did not feel the pain, her body seeming to be numb; there was no sensation just that her eyes were red.Madalyn still wanted to hit her, but Kelvin grabbed her hand and said, "Mrs. Kooper Sr., don't do that. Let's wait for the doctor to come out."Madalyn's grief was so great that even though Kelvin gripped her hand, she still swung her cane to hit Kisa with the other."You vermin, why don't you just die?" Madalyn hissed at her, her mournful cry ech
Jensen's hand on his side stiffened a little.Her love for that man was stronger than her hatred.Mrs. Kooper Sr. spat, "You better remember what you've just said! Also, if my grandson is hale and hearty, you better stay away from him. You're an ill omen. Woe be upon whoever gets close to you!"As soon as Mrs. Kooper Sr. said that, the ER door opened.Kisa's heart trembled as she hurried toward the open door.As the doctor walked out, Gilbert, too was pushed out.Gilbert's face was a little pale, and he looked very weak.Kelvin immediately stepped forward to ask the doctor about Gilbert's condition.The doctor smiled and said, "He's not in any danger, but the scratches were quite deep, and he lost a lot of blood. So, he needs to rest and recuperate for a while."When she heard this, Kisa heaved a sigh of relief.Her strength seemed to have been suddenly sapped away as she tumbled to the side.Jensen was quick on the uptake and immediately held her.With Jensen's help, Kisa
What she saw was a screen full of missed calls.There were Kelvin's number, an unknown person's number, and Gilbert's number.Gilbert's number had the most missed calls, about a dozen of them.She bit her lips and hesitated for a moment before calling Gilbert's number."You're finally willing to answer the phone?"'Kelvin's voice?'Kisa said calmly, "I was filming earlier and couldn't check my phone.""Fine then. Come over, now."Kelvin's voice sounded a little anxious.Kisa panicked and asked, "What happened? Is Gilbert not well? Didn't the doctor say he's not in danger?""Just come, and you'll know. Hurry."Kelvin hung up after saying that.Kisa was anxious, and without any delay, she immediately headed for Kelvin's villa after she was out from the set.There were no servants in Kelvin's villa, and it was very quiet.Kisa parked the car and walked straight into the villa.Gracie had just stepped out of the kitchen and was surprised when she saw Kisa, "Eh, Kisa, why are
